What do residents love about Gretna?

Safety and promptness of public services including police. I also love the social events like food truck festivals and the Saturday farmers market. ~ Carly

Gretna is a little town with big city activities such as Gretna Fest, farmer’s market, art walk, concerts and movies by the river just to name a few. Beautification at intersections, street lighting. Everyone knows we have the greatest police department. It is like a major city where everyone knows your name!!!! ~ Susan

Safe place to live and still have a friendly hometown feel where you can walk your dogs and speak to neighbors and they speak back. ~ Fran
